Prism Health and Cascade AIDS Project are excited to announce that we are hiring skilled and compassionate Family Nurse Practitioners. Family Nurse Practitioners (FNPs) provide primary medical care to LGBTQ and other patients, including gender affirming care and HIV/AIDS care. FNPs report to the Medical Director. We have several openings.

This is a full time role working in our Portland clinic on SE Belmont Ave or NE Morris St, adjacent to Legacy Emmanuel (opening in May 2024). Clinic and work hours are Monday to Friday, 8 am to 5 pm. A full time schedule includes 32 hours of direct patient care and 8 hours of admin time each week.

Starting pay is $142,000/year, which is equivalent to $68.27/hour.

Who You Are

• Provide gender affirming care including prescribing hormone therapy.
• Provide patient education (including disease management, health coaching, preventative care and medication instructions) in a compelling and compassionate manner that maximizes compliance.
• Work as a medical team with other Advanced Practice Providers, RNs, CMAs and Phlebotomists. At Prism Health, we work as a team and you aren’t on your own.
• Prescribe pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic therapies, including controlled substances.
• Become a member of the broader LGBTQ and HIV medical community in Portland with the aim of enhancing your practice and increasing patient access to services outside Prism.
• Contribute to an inclusive work environment by using trauma informed principles in your interactions with patients and coworkers.

At Cascade AIDS Project, we believe in unlocking potential. If you believe you may have the skills to do a job, we encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet every qualification. Additionally, we encourage applications from Black, Indigenous and other People of Color, those with different abilities, members of the LGBTQ community, those living with HIV, veterans, women and others who have been historically marginalized. We value your lived experience as well as your work experience. Together, we can build a work community that respects and inspires each one of us.
